Neat!  How did you get the sources?




EmuTOS and FreeMiNT are to Atari what AROS is to Amiga.

He also said they had the sources to Atari TOS, which I think was more interesting...

desiv

So he did, I didn't notice that.

Maybe they just disassembled it?

Both Madusa as Milan are involved at the Atari Coldfire Project. And both bought licences for their computers mid of the 90ies. The contracts were done with the original Atari Inc. before it was sold to JTS in 1996. So we have the original sources, not disassembled code.


While you are here, can I ask you a question about the Firebee?

Specifically, how do you handle running old 68k binaries with no source available that use instructions that exist on both the Coldfire and 68k CPUs, but behave differently on each?

Kickstart is all that is needed and the bounty requirements have been met already.

What does AROS bring to the party that might be attractive to a user of legacy hardware?[/I]"?


EEPROM flashable/Relokick-able custom ROMs for one.

You mean like this:



Offer us something that is already being done?
(These German guys are badasses over at the a1k.org)


Erm.... That's nothing new, we've been ables to flash custom binary EEPROM kickstarts for a long time now.

Custom (as in, we have the source to customise) AROS kickstarts are a much nicer prospect.

Will that give them large ROM capacities?


No, why would you think it might?

I have around 42 boards available. I am not sure how many are working yet.
I also want to make sure the software/firmware is completely ready - it isn't yet but it's good enough for techy people who are happy to do future upgrades.

I have a list of people who have expressed an interest.
I'll start emailing people shortly - in the order people expressed an interest - and see who actually wants one.


Please put me down for at least one.
